Default 6.7 Gurgling

i have noticed with my truck while using the exhaust brake when i come to a stop and the exhaust brake disengages i hear a gurgling sound from the turbo area. i asked the dealer to look into it while it was in for an oil change and they gave me the "could not reproduce" line. does anyone else with the 6.7 hear the same thing? is it something to worry about?

I dont really understand what you are hearing. I usually have the stereo on, I sometimes turn it off to hear the awesome sound of it braking, but never paid any attention to the sound you are describing. Does the sound happen at around 1,000-1300 RPM?

it is right when the brake disengages as you come to a full stop. it is hard to describe other than a 2 - 3 second long gurgling sound. it is not real loud but it is noticable. you can't hear it with the radio on. unfortunately i don't have any kind of digital recording device otherwise i would post the noise.

I have a manual transmission so I clutch and then use the brakes when 3rd gear stops slowing me down.
